Licensed Nail Technician

One of my long term goal and dream has finally come true!!! I’m officially a licensed nail technician 💅🏽. I’ve longed for this since I was in middle school, since I couldn’t have acrylic nails. I created my own version of dip nails before it was even a thing. I used to use Kiss Acrylic nail kits apply glue then dip my nails in the acrylic to get that desired look of acrylics because I didn’t know how to apply acrylic the right way. From owning my own business and creating quality press on nails, I still desired more.

So a year ago today I began my journey at Epiphany Beauty Institute to get the knowledge and hands on experience that was necessary to be official. Though it was challenging with a full time job (10hr days), being a mommy, a wife, and balancing school. I managed to see it through by God’s grace and strength! I’m so thankful for my support system and all who were a part of my journey. I learned so much and am constantly learning new things. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me and the places God will take me. I made it!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

As a licensed nail tech, I personally won’t follow an inspiration pic exactly unless it’s requested to be exact by the client. I was taught to make it my own in a small way. She loved it and as I find the inspiration for this client, she didn’t mind. #nailsthatlast #nail technician #handpa
